The 2016 Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup built around Toyota's UR-series V8s — the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FBE and 3UR-FE) and the 4.6L V8 (1UR-FE) — and this factory service and repair manual is pinned to that year and those builds, so the clearances, torque figures and service sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this truck rather than values carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2016 Tundra. Six recalls are on federal record for this truck. The first (17V416000) covers the passenger knee air bag module, which was attached to the instrument panel mount; the incorrect bolts may cause the air bag module to loosen over time. The second (17V051000) covers trucks built with a resin rear step bumper and resin reinforcement brackets: if a person steps on the corner of the bumper that is damaged, a portion of the bumper may break. Two further campaigns (21E103000 and 21V920000) concern the hydraulic power steering gear assembly — one covering JTEKT power steering gear assembly service parts, the other covering gear assemblies that may have been manufactured incorrectly — and in both an oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. A fifth (17V311000) applies to trucks accessorized with Southeast Toyota 20-inch Rockstar wheels, where lugnuts that crack and detach may cause the wheels to separate from the vehicle. The sixth (16V420000), also from Southeast Toyota, concerns the Load Carrying Capacity label: an incorrect label may lead an owner to overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 152 complaints against the 2016 Tundra, and 111 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
Whether you are tracing a weeping power steering gear, checking the knee air bag module mounting, or working through service intervals on a 5.7-liter that tows, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this 2016 Tundra.
